---|---|---|---|---|
Pristine PEO-PETA | PP | 61.0 | 20.0 | 97.6 |
PEO-PETA-EB90 | PP-EB90 | 55.1 | 12.6 | 61.5 |
PEO-PETA-EB150 | PP-EB150 | 40.3 | 5.1 | 24.9 |
PEO-PETA-EB210 | PP-EB210 | 45.2 | 3.9 | 19.0 |
PEO-PETA-EB300 | PP-EB300 | 39.8 | 7.6 | 37.1 |
was calculated using equation
, where ΔHO = 205 J g−1 is the enthalpy of the fusion of 100% crystalline PEO, and CPEO is the weight fraction of the PEO matrix in the composite.
